IQ raised: From Moderate Retardation to Normal level

IQ raised: From Moderate Retardation to Normal level.

We in Jaipur Hospital are surprised that with supplements and an anti-epileptic medicine we found child IQ jump from 60 to 100!!!

We will publish it. The child had delayed mile stones, had seizures and was not testable earlier because of his poor attention span that was because of his hyperactivity. He could not do Form Board. Therefore we assessed his development using the Tredgold Developmental Schedule. On this we placed him at developmental quotient 60. And remember he had all mile stones delayed. Overall I had put him in moderate subnormalcy.

Past week, three years down the line, he was brought for follow up, now at his age 11. We again tested him. This time he not only could do the Seguin Form Board but came out as IQ 100.

The ABA was advised on his first visit three years ago, but parents did not go for it. Main intervention was the supplements and sodium valproate prescribed by neurologist for his seizures.

We will document it in detail and publish.

This is the first time we succeeded in raising the IQ. Earlier we tried on another child but failed on the IQ front. But that child was 11 of age when brought to us.
